Internet Governance After Dubai \u2014 ITU or Multistakeholder?<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Session &#39;Internet governance after the Dubai Conference&#39; (#igfGob)<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&quot;Getting Europe to align on the Internet today is highly complicated \u2014 that is why we must influence governments&quot;<br \/>\n\u2014 <strong>V\u00edctor Domingo (President, Asociaci\u00f3n de Internautas)<\/strong> [1][2]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li>Jorge P\u00e9rez argued that the collapse of WCIT-12 in Dubai over the new telecom regulations showed the ITU cannot be the body that governs the Internet, urging national forums to step up [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Juan Corro, chief of staff to the state secretary, noted how hard it is for the EU-27 to reach &#39;useful, balanced and feasible&#39; common positions [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>2. Cybersecurity Becomes a National Priority \u2014 Strengthening INTECO<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Opening session and cybersecurity discussions<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>State Secretary Calvo-Sotelo said cybersecurity had become a top concern for governments and companies that year, explaining the government&#39;s reinforcement of INTECO (now INCIBE) [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>The debate on public-private roles unfolded in the run-up to Spain&#39;s first National Cybersecurity Strategy, adopted in December 2013 [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>3. Cyberbullying and Digital Government \u2014 Issues Close to Citizens<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Sessions<\/strong>: Roundtables on cyberbullying and cyber-coexistence, and digital public administration<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Parallel roundtables covered cyberbullying and online coexistence, intellectual property, privacy and digital inclusion [1][2]<\/li>\n<li>Digitalising public administration was framed as a route to efficiency and transparency, with participants agreeing on the need for rules that make the Internet safer and more inclusive [1][2]<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Three-Minute Short Talk \u2014 Your Questions Answered<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Q. What did the meeting decide?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. It was a dialogue, not a decision body \u2014 but coming right after WCIT-12 split the world into ITU-centric and multistakeholder camps, it was a key moment for Spain to work out who should govern the Internet.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. What was the most contentious topic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. Control of Internet governance. Against ITU-centred intergovernmental management, Spain&#39;s Internet-users association argued openly for ICANN-style models and for influencing governments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q. Why does it matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A. The WCIT-12 fault line debated here \u2014 with countries like Japan and the US refusing to sign the new regulations \u2014 still defines global Internet-governance politics today.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Spain IGF?
